i tried this recipe but instead of mozarella i used akram, awali or akwal cheese. i bought a 150 gms. cubed and put it in my avocado and it was heaven. this the cheese they put in a cheese manaish bread you can buy in a lebanese bakery.

MM, if you want to try making your own mozarella, try this site, you would be surprised how easy it is to make (30minutes). I’ve tried making the kesong puti from the site and it was easy. Just be aware that to make the milk curdle, you would definitely need “rennet”.

This avocado salad is screaming summer. It’s very pretty I’m sure it tastes just as good. I bought an avocado for an avocado and mango salsa and now I’ve changed my mind I’ll make Mr. Market Man’s avocado salad instead.

Thanks, Marketman, for the prompt response. Yes, I have read that previous post which is very informative… Never seen purple basil.

T19 et al, Mr. Moo carries a locally made mozzarella, but I didn’t like the look of it… a bit grey and tough looking. I understand that other manufacturers also make it. For the imported stuff, there is mozzarella at Santis, Terry’s and increasingly at S&R. I find the ones at S&R to be reasonably priced and quite good… they are usually from Australia. Whenever I happen by Galileo Enoteca and they have freshly flown in mozzarella, I splurge and get several pieces.
